if you train your dog as a pup in a cage it most likely wont need one when it grows up, but training a Maltese in a cage isn't so easy. Mine barked all night until I took her out, so now she sleeps with me in my bed. She likes her cage, just not when she is locked in it. Whenever I'm gone, she sleeps in her cage (out of will). If you are talking about locking your dog in a cage while your gone, I do not think that is necessary, since Maltese don't usually posses a destructive nature, but it depends on the individual dog.--as a puppy you may consider putting them in a pin (like a play pin) and placing their cage, water, food and a wee pad inside their pin if you are worried about your house. This way they aren't locked inside a cage, have access to food and water, and can also go to the bathroom if they have to.

Are Maltese dogs snappy?

Not usually..... but it depends on how well they are trained, and also how comfortable they are being touched. Like most dogs, its not a good idea to surprise them by grabbing or squeezing it (without letting it know you're there first). Maltese don't usually snap if they are aware of your presence, and will (ordinarily) only nip if they feel threatened. As long as you are gentle, they will not feel a need to defend themselves (unless they have not been properly trained). ;)
